Re: Vented Carbon Fiber Hood Design Status
I really appreciate the complements. These past three days have been crazy. My intentions are to provide the shipping and handling invoice to everyone else over paypal. Anyone interested in picking hood's up in Saint Louis MO. to avoid shipping still must pay the $50 handling cost. Remember the forum bulk buy only covered production.

Take your time. My plan was to provided directions. Since you guys could not wait....
1. Please instal hood bolts one at a time... left, right, left, right.... It's helps everything line up perfectly centered at the end. (The same way we bolt up wheels).
2. Please lower hood stoppers all the way before lowering the hood and I would recommend placing a 3inX3in square of Dynamat or another type of metal based material in that area where the hood would come in contact with the stoppers. ( Increase durability in a high contact area) that's what I'm doing.
3. Most places say don't use the stock hood prop to protect the company. So don't use them". Nevertheless, if you do use it, open and close the hood on the driver side.
4. The slotted hood latch can be adjusted by sliding it forward before tightening the bolts.
I'll work on getting instructions with pictures out next week.
As far as another bulk buy, I can't make that call right now. Basically because I'm very in the negative right now due to people pulling out of the bulk buy after paying their deposits. As a result, I had to front their remaining balance to prevent holding up the bulk buy. I also had to front the bulf buy handling charges. So, another bulk buy would be a long shot right now, but that may change if everything works out.
Thanks,
Med
